SOLD Pre Warning T/C Hawken .45 Caplock

[ksf1959]

I've decided to part with one of my Hawken rifles....this one is in very good condition, pre warning, excellent bore, drilled and tapped for scope and hammer has been modified to allow for scope. Ramrod is original, bluing is 99%, beautiful woodgrain, no scratches, nicks, dings, etc. serial # 280734. All furniture is in nice condition. There is no proof mark on the underside of the barrel that I could find. but on the top side, there is a very small V99 on the breech...Price is $325.00 plus shipping

One of the better deals I have seen around. If I didnt have one I would make a way to get it in my cabinet!

Your rifle may not be a T/C Hawken, and might be a T/C Seneca - they're easy to get confused with each other when the model name isn't on the barrel.

Hawken's have barrels that measure 15/16" across the flats; Seneca's measure 13/16".

It’s a Hawken. No problem at all telling them apart.

I wish it were a .50, im looking. But as a novice my question is, whats "pre-warning?"

Due to the litigeuos society we live in and the number of stupid people running loose and the total absence of common sense, at some point it became a requirement to put a big paragraph of ‘lawyer speak’ on the barrel to cover their butts from lawsuits.

Guns made before this requirement are referred to as ‘pre-warning’.

Good lord.....yes ok I know what that is now, I think i have only one gun with a barrel destroyed by the writings. I just didnt know it was referred to that way. And as we're learning, they werent even satisfied with that, now they want to take the whole thing. Thats another thread so I wont start. Thanks for clarifying.

Would you happen to know the barrel length and twist rate on it?

I have an extra .50 caliber barrel I would sell, It's not as pristine as this .45 but its a good barrel....$100.00 if you buy the rifle
Barrel length is the standard 28" and the standard twist rate on most T/Cs is 1:48

Hawken's have barrels that measure 15/16" across the flats; Seneca's measure 13/16".

It’s not a Seneca. Stock architecture, hammer, trigger guard, etc. are all different.
A lot of people don’t know the differences, but I have a Seneca lying on top of a filing cabinet about 30 feet from me right now, and it doesn’t look like the gun in the picture.

Really surprised no one has bought this, it's a good buy.

 

[Shorthanded]

Drilled and tapped might turn some off. Like how deep was it drilled, that was my concern.

Mine too.

Is the .50 barrel drilled and tapped for a scope like the .45 is? Btw..........I have two TC Hawken 45’s and they are good shooters. Greg

To answer your question, no it is not, but I sold the rifle yesterday

Rifle is sold and delivered....

 

[ksf1959]

Mine too.

I don't like to see that either...one reason for selling it....plus I have several Hawken rifles....but honestly, any machinist with the skill to properly drill and tap those holes is not going to damage the barrel....
